Department of Homeland Security Chief Jeh Johnson has been sipping… no chugging the Kool-Aid at the drink stand of Barack Obama. And that he is in ANY position of leadership in the government is mind-boggling. But then, the same can be said for every member of Obama’s cabinet including the head cheese himself. In a speech during the recent “Combating Violent Extremism” summit, he was videotaped saying that his job is to “give voice to Muslims.”

One man’s “family portrait” is another’s disgusting sicko porn. A South Florida man is claiming the nude photos he commissioned of his three young daughters are the former and that his sharing them around was simply the act of a proud papa.

The Sun-Sentinel reports that Brian Martens, 53, pleaded not guilty to charges of child pornography earlier this week. His defense is that he and his family are “naturalists” — they live in a nudist colony — and that the pictures are your more-or-less run-of-the mill family photos.

Michael Arrington, founder of TechCrunch and a general partner at CrunchFund revealed a few days ago on his blog that after he sold TechCrunch in 2010, he didn’t splurge on anything except for a new boat that was built and shipped from Canada.
